The Fundamental Principles of Climate, Ecocide, ESG and AI For Procurement and Supply Chain Managers
To meet increasing stakeholder demands, managing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) responsibilities is at the core of Procurement and Supply Chain Management. Of critical importance is a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles of the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, sustainability, circularity, regeneration, net zero and ESG.
